Day 33 setraline Help
Posted , 7 users are following.
Ok day 33 on setraline 50mg still feeling anxious sickly tired no energy and everything is a slog. Is this normal should I stick it out will a higher dose help . I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and waiting to see an endo specialist on Dec 13th so is this causing my symptoms or should the setraline be working by now ?
Any advice or similar situations would help please as fed up bug time

Yes, that can also be part of the symptoms. I was diagnosed with low potassium and that triggered some of the side effects to be worse. Stick it out it will get better.
My panic and anxiety was horrible in the beginning of taking this med and for about 4 weeks. I did up my does at about 4 weeks to 75mg( after we got my potassium under control with meds) I would wait til you see the endo and get that under control before upping another med.
Best of luck and hang in there. We are all in this together and help each other 😊

I'm the same John it's been about 6 weeks at different doses. I'm sticking with it because I have read lots of stories on here (good ones) that it takes ages to work some people say up to 2/3 months. So hang in there.

My symptoms, jaw clenching, headaches, constant thoughts that are horrible, anxious, weird vision problems, ringing in my ears, shakes more anxiety.
I have been on 150mg for nearly 4 weeks and have improved believe it or not.
